21、（London）—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.
Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.
“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.
According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.
Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.
According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.
Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.
The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.
【1】What is this piece of news mainly about?
A. Thin people may be fat inside.
B. Internal fat is of no importance.
C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.
D. Thin people also have troubles.
【2】Doctors have found _____.
A. the exact dangers of internal fat
B. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetes
C. being slim is not dangerous at all
D. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside
【3】According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.
B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.
C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.
D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.
【4】From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.
A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been proved
B. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthy
C. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim
D. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat
22、Graph can be a very useful tool for conveying information, especially numbers, percentages, and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.
Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title, a main idea, and supporting details. You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text.
Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend or key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well. The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner. Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph. Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures.
Bar Graphs
A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1, we see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned, and the y-axis shows how many students earned each grade .You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1).
Line Graphs
A line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but instead of bars, it plots points and connects them with a line. It has the same parts as a bar graph – two labeled axes –and can be read the same way. To read a line graph, it’s important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points. This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time. Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2).
The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see that, on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2. If the line segment angled down, as between Day 4 and Day 5, it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the bird’s migration.
Pie Graphs
A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents l00 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole.
A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows one month’s expenses (See Graph 3 ).
Food $ 25 Movies $ 12 Clothing $ 36
Savings $ 20 Books $ 7

A. Food. B. Books C. Movies D. Clothing.
23、 Have you seen the movie The Shawshank Redemption? If so, you might be moved by Andy, who tries to earn freedom by escaping the hopeless prison. It is hard to imagine what life would be like in prison. However, Old Melbourne Gaol gives us such a chance. It is a museum in Melbourne, which served as prison between 1842 and 1929.
We experienced being prisoners in the prison. All of us were asked to put down our belongings and then we were checked. We couldn’t hide anything. After a while, we were given cards with fake names and charges. We read the information loudly and then the “police” explained it in a funny way. For example, a gentleman’s charge was carrying an illegal weapon, which was actually just an umbrella.
Soon we were divided into groups and went to different rooms in the prison. The light was off inside. We could not see anything. All we could hear was our breath. It was the longest five minutes of my life. I was in a tiny room with a number of strangers. I could feel the same depression as the prisoners. The police finally opened the door and led us to the activity area. We relaxed in the sunlight and decided to behave ourselves in the future.
I think Australian museums are quite interesting. They not only add modern technology to historical relics, but also hold various activities for visitors.
【1】Why did the writer mention the movie in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the story of the movie.
B.To tell readers about the main character Andy.

D.By staying in dark rooms for five minutes.
【3】How did the visitors feel as prisoners?
A.Hopeless.
B.Encouraged.
C.Relaxed.
D.Funny.
【4】After going out of the rooms, the visitors decided to .

24、 It's the most popular drink worldwide. According to the British Coffee Association, approximately two billion cups of coffee are consumed every day. But after the beans have been picked, roasted and brewed, the grounds（渣子）are often treated as waste. With the environment and resource consumption such hot topics at the moment, wouldn't it be great if we could reuse this waste to make something useful?
The company OCHIS produces sunglasses. Max Havrylenko, founder of the company, was searching for an alternative material to plastic. He wanted to "solve the problem of plastic use and overconsumption so as to create a greener world," he told the Guardian. OCHIS heats the grounds with vegetable oils, forming a bond. These are pressed into plates which are durable and flexible. These are then cut into the arms and frames of the glasses. "Don't worry," he says, "They won't dissolve（溶解）in the rain."
Rosalie McMillan, a London jeweler, uses recycled coffee grounds along with gold and silver to make handcrafted jewelry. Mixed with oils, the coffee is then subjected to heat and pressure to create a compound she calls "Curface". Her website says it has a "beautiful surface quality and texture" with similar properties to hardwood.
What about a coffee cup made from them? Kaffeeform is a German-based company that transforms used grounds and renewable plant-based raw materials into a durable composite. This is shaped into a variety of containers and polished and finished, ready to be sold. So, you can drink your coffee from a cup made of coffee.
And it doesn't stop there. Even without a factory, you can make use of coffee grounds. They make excel-lent fertilizer（肥料）. You can highlight something against them, or mix them with water to make a brown-toned paint. And the list goes on. So next time you finish your morning cup, lake a while to think again.
【1】The first paragraph is mainly written to introduce .
A.how people treat coffee grounds B.annual consumption of coffee
C.growing popularity of coffee D.the big problem of wasting food
【2】What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A.OCHIS doesn't make sunglasses at all at present.
B.Plastic might be less eco-friendly to environment.
C.Coffee has become the raw materials of sunglasses.
D.Coffee-based plates are more durable and flexible.
【3】The underlined word "subjected" in Paragraph 3 can be best replaced by .
A.accustomed B.exposed C.relevant D.sensitive
【4】What does the author advise people to do in the last paragraph?
A.Think about how to recycle the coffee grounds. B.Take full advantage of their time.
C.Add more information to the list. D.Keep away from the coffee cups.
